How many times when things break up with a potential knock on or similar do the wasps players just stop.

Umaga also missed the last touch kick from his 25, to gift Wuss their third try. It's his 3rd missed touch and just too many.
Feel for the lad but match after match this is crucifying the team as no.10 is the lynchpin

Whilst possibly being covid-averse the missing of tackles is worrying.

Too many errors. Not doing the basics and loads of pens. That’s pretty poor. Defence has been ok. The forwards must be tearing their hair out with our backs - just do the basics.

Vailanu never played like that when he was with us.  Why is it that we get players who don't perform for us and then go elsewhere and do good things?  Alapati was another.  Also a number of hopefuls we signed, some of who never even made appearances for us, it seems to me.

Since last week's thread, I have been watching him carefully. Worcester are targeting him and Porter with as much pressure as they can muster, and they both look harried and nervous. Good tactic by Worcester. To explain, almost every set piece the movement is to assume we have earned the right to go wide. We haven't, not by a long stretch. It makes it easy to defend when you do the same thing over and over. Simply drift wide and clobber the outside centre or winger.

And as for Kibirige. He simply runs at someone and falls over. Not even at speed. Watson confirms my view he is gone after this season. Our backs, right now, with the exception of Bassett and Gopperth, are simply not playing even slightly well. I do not count McHenry, as he is not really part of our squad, and isn't doing so badly.

Can't wait for Robson, Fekitoa, Crossdale, Odogwu and Atkinson is all I can say.

What we be an improvement, the second half? I seriously doubt it. At this rate we might get more than 8 tries put on us at this rate.

More pens. More mistakes. No basics. 32-14. Worcester have had this handed to them.

Apparently it's a prop's fault. Or maybe someone who is injured.
